In a time when everything can be next day and ordered and put on credit and paid for, music to me is promise, all promise, very little realization. It's the promise of walking into a room with a guitar and not being sure you will leave with an idea that will take, not being sure it won't slip away from you. |
It is too easy to watch music coming out of people's mouths lately and you're not quite sure if it was written with the best of intentions. |
It makes you feel like you're on vacation. It's the kind of drink that should have an umbrella sticking out of it. It tastes great in the winter months. |
It seems like the other 20 people in the county know what is better for us than our own representatives. |
Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!" |
Never underestimate the power of "I'd like that." |
Never, ever underestimate the power of 'Id Like that. |
Numb is the new deep, done with the old me, and talk is the same cheap it's been. |
People want to see musicians sing things that come from their own mind and own heart in real time, responding to the moment for them. |
Scared of the world outside you should go explore, pull all the shades and wander the great indoors. Though lately I can't blame you, I have seent he world and sometimes I wish your room had room for two. |
So what, so I've got a smile on But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head |
Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you'd bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day. |
That's a high felony. We want to apprehend him as soon as possible. |
the trapper keeper is the genisis of OCD for my generation. |
There wasn't a ton of time to write this record but that's also good because there wasn't a ton of time to freak out either. So it was just about enough time to follow my instinct and put my instinct down ... Your first attempt, your first thumbprint on every song -- that's what you can hear on the record. |
